BitOps¶

Usage

use BitOps;

Bitwise operations implemented using C intrinsics when possible.

proc clz(x: integral)¶

Count leading zeros in x.

Returns:	the number of 0 bits before the most significant 1 bit in x
Return type:	x.type

proc ctz(x: integral)¶

Count trailing zeros in x.

Returns:	the number of 0 bits after the least significant 1 bit in x
Return type:	x.type

proc popcount(x: integral)¶

Find the population count of x.

Returns:	the number of 1 bits set in x as x.type
Return type:	x.type

proc parity(x: integral)¶

Find the parity of x.

Returns:	0 -- when an even number of bits are set in x 1 -- when an odd number of bits are set in x
Return type:	x.type

proc rotl(x: integral, n: integral)¶

Rotate x left.

Arguments:	x -- integral of size bits n -- rotation amount, must be less than bits
Returns:	x rotated left by n bits
Return type:	x.type

proc rotr(x: integral, n: integral)¶

Rotate x right.

Arguments:	x -- integral of size bits n -- rotation amount, must be less than bits
Returns:	x rotated right by n bits
Return type:	x.type
